I have been using estradiol for a burning pain when passing urine but they don't seem to be helping?

Dysuria & IC: I think of bladder infection when someone reports painful urination eg dysuria. If appropriate, obtain urine culture & sensitivity to guide antibiotic choice. Estradiol isn't an antibiotic and wouldn't be my 1st choice in treating dysuria. However, if you've been diagnosed w/interstitial cystitis, check out http://goo.gl/SLhuo7 for treatment options (of note, Estradiol is not listed).
